;[ANCEV] Multipartite MBR/COM stealth infector
;Copyright 1998 (c) Vecna
;
;When started, the virus check if a PSP exist in ds:0. If true, then we are in
;a infected file, so, we should infected the MBR and return to the host. A
;quick check for memory resident copy is done then. To infected the MBR, we
;read it, and check for a 0xE8 opcode(call). If it exists then we already are
;in the MBR, and dont infect it again. The clean copy of the MBR is stored
;in 0/0/2, and the MBR is overwritten by the virus code and memory contents,
;but before we write it, we put the marker (0xAA55) in the offset 0x1FE. The
;partition table is overwrited in this process, and the disk become, of course
;unacessible after a clean boot. Then four bytes of the start of the host are
;restored, and we jump to the host.
;
;If the PSP dont exists, then we are in a infected MBR. We reduce the memory
;size at 0x0:0x413 by 1 kb, and copy ourself to the gap we created in the top
;of memory. Then we hook interrupt 0x13.
;
;In each call of the interrupt 0x13, the virus check if is the sector 0/0/1
;from the first HDD. If so, we change it for 0/0/2 and lets teh call continue.
;Else, we make the call, and check if it start with 'MZ'. If so, we assume
;that DOS already is loaded, and hook interrupt 0x21, saving the original
;value in the interrupt 0x1. We also patch a jump in our code, to avoid the
;rehook of the interrupt.
;
;The hook in interrupt 0x21 only check for the function 0x4B, letting pass
;all other calls to the original vector. The control to the original vector
;is passed using a undocumented opcode 0xF1, BPICE, a single byte "INT 1"
;instruction.
;
;The infection is very simple, and no date is restored. In fact, a read-only
;attribute can stop the virus from infecting. We read 4 bytes from the begin
;of the file, and check if it is a EXE file, or have a "V" character in the
;4th byte. If so, the file is left alone. Then we go the the end of file,
;write our viral code, come back to the start of the file, and write a jump
;to the virus code, together with our infection mark. The file is then closed,
;and the infection process is finished.
;
;As a bonus, the virus isnt detected neither by AVP or DrWeb 4.00 heuristics
